Scout says that it is the company that keeps her from thoroughly enjoying Christmas. They go to Finch's landing, where "the fact that Aunty was a good cook was some compensation for being forced to spend a religious holiday with Francis Hancock...[who] enjoyed everything I disapproved of, and disliked my ingenuous diversons." Scout dislikes Francis so much that she says "he was the most boring child I ever met." So, that makes Christmas a bit of a bummer to her. And, that Christmas, Francis and Scout end up getting in a fight, with Scout getting in trouble for it. So her foreboding regarding Francis, this year at least, was justified.
